The Asbestos and You campaign urges tradespeople to stay aware of hidden asbestos and protect themselves and others from exposure during their work.
Every tradesperson is likely to undertake work in a building that contains asbestos at some point. Those carrying out repairs or refurbishment work are at a higher risk of disturbing asbestos, especially when working in houses built before the year 2000.
